A £3.9 billion Government cash boost is to bring faster train journeys to and from York.

The Government has today (Monday, December 4) pledged the amount to accelerate the Transpennine Route Upgrade between Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York.

Once complete in the mid-2030s, the upgrade will offer up to eight trains per hour, hundreds of extra seats and cut journey times between Manchester and York by 10 minutes, the Government said.

The Government has already invested £3 billion into the project.
